She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s

Brother-in-law Zhao looked at the two brothers-in-law, knowing they had made money and settled in the Capital City.

His kids even said they'd go to the Capital City to have a look.

But how much money does the family have? How could they afford to travel so far for fun?

"I'll do it."

Zhao Tianlei patted this cousin-in-law on the shoulder, "Then let's set aside a small plot to cultivate seedlings this year. We'll carve out a small piece of land when we get back today."

So soon?

"But cultivating seedlings, I don't know how."

He could plant crops, but asking him to plant fruit trees and cultivate seedlings, he really didn't know how.

"You can learn if you don't know. How will you know if you can do it if you don't try?"

Seems like that's the case.

"Where can I buy fruit seedlings then?"

Where would he go to buy them?

Although Brother-in-law Zhao had been to the county town once, he really didn't know where to buy fruit seedlings.

"My family has grapevines, you can cut some."

Grapevines?

"Alright Shitou, I'll go and have a look."

Zhao Tianlei saw how serious his brother-in-law looked; he seemed genuinely eager to make money.

Their brigade was close to the town.

"I'll go get my wife."

Zhao Tianhe pulled Brother-in-law Zhao towards Zhao Tianlei's house.

"Brother-in-law, grapes sell for very high prices in the Capital City and are scarce there. Our area is suitable for growing this fruit."

On the other side, Zhao Tianlei entered Little Uncle Zhao's house and called for Yun Xiaoxiao.

Why call her?

What do they need her to do?

As soon as they left Little Uncle Zhao's place, Zhao Tianlei started talking to Yun Xiaoxiao about the grapes.

"It's possible, but cultivating seedlings takes about two to three years to bear fruit and requires careful care. Honestly, it's not as good as growing strawberries, they can be planted and bear fruit in the same year."

"I just suddenly thought of it."

Alright then.

The two chatted as they walked home.

"Sister-in-law....."

"Brother-in-law....."

As they entered the courtyard, Brother-in-law Zhao was looking around, but didn't see it?

Then saw Educated Youth Yun squatting by the courtyard wall.

"Go get some scissors."

What?

What are the scissors for?

With curiosity, Zhao Tianlei brought the scissors over and saw his wife cut down quite a bit of grapevine, leaving just a one-meter-high trunk, the rest of the vines were all cut off.

"This is the grapevine; from each node, a new vine can grow."

Yun Xiaoxiao cut the grapevines into small sections, each with a little bump on them.

"Brother-in-law, once you take these back, plant them like vegetables in the soil, let them sprout new shoots, and once they have new shoots, transplant them. It's best to keep them 60 to 80 centimeters apart. Also, the soil for planting the grapevines must be fertile, water them every few days, the rest you'll have to figure out on your own, I don't know either."

Brother-in-law Zhao took note of all this.

"If you have plastic film, it's best to cover them, it will help them sprout faster."

Brother-in-law Zhao agreed.

But seeing these grapevines, could they really be grown?

"Once I get to the Capital City, I'll check the library for any books on grape cultivation. If there are any, I'll mail them to you."

"Thank you so much."

Zhao Tianlei found something to wrap the grapevines with newspaper and then packed them for him.

"Brother-in-law, I hope to eat the grapes you grow in the future."

"Sure."

If they manage to grow, they'll definitely be edible.

This goes without saying.

Zhao Yueyue watched her husband carrying a package of things home, not knowing what it was.

She wanted to ask but felt it was not a good time with so many people around.
